I'm assuming you're referring to your image dump threads? The reasons I don't contribute to those are:
- I do not have a webhost which will allow me to upload Adult Only material.
- I have limited space for hosting images on Akiba-Online. (As do you! One day you're going to run out of space for attachments!)
- I already need to preserve my attachment space for other threads.
- Akiba-Online is a webforum, not an imageboard.
- Imageboards are better for image dumps than webforums.
- I do not have (access to) a program which could check hashsums or other metadata in your attachments and auto-delete them from the batch of images I'm about to upload.
- I do not have time to sift through all 100+ of your images to make sure I'm not uploading something you already did.
- Most of the pictures you post are either:
- classic reposts,
- pictures from doujinshi or eroge, or
- pictures that have been posted on 4chan or other English imageboards in the last 12 months
- I already have (a) and much of (b) and (c). Most people here already have all of (a) and all of (c). And many people here have all of all three.
My apologies if this is not what you were talking about when you mentioned:
To
me, this translates to "please post attachments to the image dump threads I start! I'm the only one uploading images! Grr! >( "
Btw, while I'm on the topic ... a suggestion, if I may? Perhaps you should create a .rar of all the images for a particular theme (e.g. paizuri) and upload that .rar as an attachment in the first post? And maybe you could then upload "patches" in subsequent threads? And after the number of patches reaches a certain point, perhaps then you would delete the old attachment in the first post and create a new attachment in its place, one that has all of the images up to date. The bad news is, viewers won't be able to see what images are in the .rar until they download it. The good news is, it makes it a
HELL of a lot easier for people to do two things:
(1) download your pictures, run a program to delete the ones they already have somewhere else on their hard drive, and keep the remaining ones
(2) download your pictures, run a program to compare your folder with their own folder for the same fetish (e.g. comparing your paizuri image dump with my paizuri image dump), create a clone of their directory, and delete from that clone any and all pictures which you already have uploaded.
1 + 2 = people will like your efforts more and be more likely to contribute. Just a thought.
